Anyone see/will see the new Pirates movie tonight?

[Reaper16]

My take:

It's one big, loooong (2:25) glorifed trailer for the third movie.
Pirates 1 = awesome.
Pirates 2 = not as funny, not as exciting. It makes little sense without the first movie, but has absolutely no resolution without the third.

Put it this way: Most people were upset at The Matrix Reloaded for being a overwrought cliffhanger of a movie. This is a little bit worse than that in terms of dissapointment.

I hope your take on this is not quite spot on! I'm going to go see it tonight. Making it a cliffhanger to pique the appetite for a third movie doesn't bother me, if it's done right. The LOTR films did it right, the Matrix films didn't. I'll let you know tomorrow if I agree with your take or not.
